TIIE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 1, 1000. TALK TO FRUIT GROWERS. J. H. Hale Gives Some Sound Vlewt on Orcharding. J. H. Hale, the veteran orchardlst, In a talk to fruit growers, said: Give the orchard the best soil you have, rolling land preferred. Prepare this land thoroughly and continue thorough tillage Get good trees. Plan ahead and transplant trees two or three times before setting In per manent place, or pay nurserymen for doing it. Head your trees low. Manu facture them to suit your Idea. Get them down where you can handle tl.eni easily and cheaply. Prune an nually and spray often and thorough ly Thin apples. Goo.l trees over bear. This is the most paying opera tion ot all. Pick two to four times to not ;i!l ot crop ::t proper stages of rmei.e-s We don't pick the whole mi ,'.:n other fruit er: at once; why IHM'll s.' I ion'! phmt dwarfs, but rather dwarf your statu'.urd trees by summer am: root pr.mlug if f'oy are over vidimus. Thro.v such trees Into bear irg by plowlm: deep and subsoiling. Cultivate early a:il thoroughly until middle ot July, then seed to cover crop and let alone. Mr Hale has used commercial fer tilizers supploti'cutoil by cover crops for forty years, and thinks them equal to barnyard manure. Ho has se cured results hi color nnd quantity with potash, and lie nays use care in harvesting. If possible put apples In cold storage every night. Communi ties should unite and build storage plants. How to Mend Garden Hose. As tho garden hose gets a little old, nnd begins to swell, it soon gets out of commission altogether If not at tended to. A simple way to mend it is to wrap the hose with ordinary twine, which will make it last a few more seasons. As it is no easy matter to wind this cord by hand and get it even and un der uniform tension, tho writer has for many years used the simple contriv ance shown in the accompanying il lustration. It consists of an ordinary tin can with a lid, Into which Is put the ball of twine. In the center of the bottom make a small hole, through which pass the loose end of the cord. Thence let it run down the side of the can through a tension device and to tho hose. To the cover of the can is sol dered a small piece of tin, bent to a ringle angle and forming a guide for the hose. Tho tension device consists of a short piece of metal, with its Dvlse for Wrapping Garden Hose. u rei' end bent outward, forming a fulcrum for a short spring-compressed lever. The latter at its lower end has a small hole therein through which thu cord is passed. A short stove bolt serves to regulate the tension on tho lever it will be observed that the cord is pressed against tho can by the leve'- The whole device is now holdered to the tin can. In use, the can Is turned around the hose, and with the tension proper J;' adjusted the twine will wind around the hose very closely, and it will teed the can forward automati cally. It will make the hoso slightly smaller, and thus close all tho small punctures, through which the water percoates, between the several lay ers of tho canvas. I3y giving the cerd a coat or two of some waterproofing, it will bo found that the hose will last as long again; besides It will stand a great deal more pressure than be fore. Scientific American. Floral Notes. 'Cover the plants while sweeping to protect them from tho dust. All bulbs coming In flower should have a great deal of water. liring your hyacinths from the cel lar when you wish them to bloom. Do not water house plants too ofton, once or twice a week is enough for most kinds. More plants are ruined by too much water and too poor light than In any other way. .Cultivate as many plants as you have room for and you will discov er to your gratlllcation that room will grow with the floral habit 'Ihe use of commercial plant food on plants In the houso will bo found much more deslrablo than stable ma nure; It la clean to handle, is easily applied and usually moro satisfactory. Sickly plants are not worth bother ing with. Throw them out and start afresh. Public Wants Action.

SECRET 8ERVICE8ECRETIVENE5S No Ono Ever Heard of a Detective Being Killed. "Funny thing, but can you remem ber ever having heard or read of a Secret Service operator having been murdered?" It was an old New York detective speaking. "Of course you haven't, and yet they are In a line of work In which men are killed now and then, In spite of the fine way In which all the Secret Service men stand by each other. The fact is that the Secret Service keeps tho murder of ono of its agents Just as secrot as some Important mat ter of State it has discovered. The Secret Service man when he joins knows that if he dies In the discharge of his duty ho simply disappears and becomes as one who never lived. His relatives never know. "They are told he has gone on Rome far distant mission, in which he finally disappears and they begin to receive his pension. Yet, while tho murderer of a Secrot Service man is never arrested or punished for tho crime, never even aroused, he Is pun ished just tlie same. "I remember tho case of a Secret Service man who was dabbed to death nfter midnight by an infuriated Italian j counterfeiter in Mulberry street, not half a mile from Police Headquarters. A Secrot Service man diove up swift ly In a cab Intended for do euptercd counterfeiter. Tho dying man wrc put in before he had left much blood on tho pavement to tell of the murder. Ho died next day. No ono over heard of it nor of any punishment for H1I3 murderer. But the counterleitor wa3 shortly after brought up for counter feiting and got a sentence long enough to keep him In State prison for th3 rest of his life." The White Death. One of the meat curious of the nat ural phenomena peculiar to the Rocky mountains is the mysterious storm known to tho Indians as "tho white death." Not many years ago a party of three women and two men were crossing a part of Colorado in a wagon during the month of February. It was a de lightful morning, very frosty, but with brilliant sunshine, and the atmosphere as clear as crystal. Suddenly one of the women put her hand to her face and said that she had been stung: then other members of the party did the same thing, but no Insect could possibly live in that tem perature. A moment later they noticed that the distant mountains were disappear ing behind a cloud of mist, a most un usual thing for that time of year. They drove on and in a few minutes a gen tle wind began to blow and the air became filled with fine particles of something that scintillated like dia mond dust in the sunshine. Still they drove on until they camo to a cabin, whore a man signalled them to stop. With ills head all muf fled up he rushed out and handed tho driver a piece of paper on which was written: "Coino into tho house quickly or tho Btorm will kill all of you. Don't talk outside here." No time was lost in getting Inside and putting the horses under cover, but in less than an hour the whole party was seized with violent coughs nnd fever, and before the next morn ing one of the women hnd died with all the symptoms of pneumonia. Tho others managed to pull through after long illnesses. Scientists call this phenomena froz en fog, but whence it comes has not at present been traced. They Worked on Eenches. The dignified dame was not really English, but she had mastered the dia lect to fcomo extent. "My nevvow 'Erbert," she said, "wants to marry a school teacher! Fawney! A person who works for a living! To bo sure, now that I think of It, that is not always a disgrace. You, my dear, write for the press now nnd then, I am told, but you don't 'ave to, you know. That is different," "Yes," replied the young person to whom she was speaking, "but I may be said to have inherited a tendency to work. My father and grandfather both worked for a living, and they were not allowed even the luxury of a chair to sit on. They worked on benches." "Dear me!" exclaimed the dignified dame, greatly shocked. "What did they ah work at?" "Well, my father was a judge of tho superior court, and my grandfather was one of tho justices of the United States supreme court." Directions for Amateurs.
